The 4th International Conference on Radioecology and
Environmental Radioactivity (ICRER) will be held in Berl
in\, Germany\, 3-8 September 2017.

\n

The aim of the confere
nce is to review and discuss recent achievements in radioecology and relat
ed disciplines\, as well as to promote continued development in these subj
ects in order to improve the radiological protection of humans and the env
ironment.

\n

The International Conference on Radioecology and Environ
mental Radioactivity 2017 will cover the acquisition of basic scientific k
nowledge in research dedicated to any human and wildlife exposure situatio
ns for a wide range of radioactive sources and scenarios (planned\, existi
ng and emergency situations)\, as well as identifying new societal needs a
long with technical requirements for regulators and industry.

\n

This
will include environmental monitoring strategies\, advances in metrology
as well as development of validated models to better predict the consequen
ces of all sources of radioactivity\; industrial\, (enhanced) natural\, ac
cidental and potential. Advances in methods dedicated to integrated and gr
aded approach for human and wildlife radiological risk assessment will be
another operational focus of the conference. Research combining 'lab-field
-modelling' approach and fit-for-purpose applications will be appreciated.
Presentation of major outcomes from research programmes on the environmen
tal consequences of the Fukushima and Chernobyl accidents will be welcome.
Design of appropriate emergency preparedness routines will be another foc
us area\, as well as supporting the development of laws and regulations th
at protect man and ecosystems from the effects of ionising radiation. Open
ness to other disciplines to integrate their skills and knowledge to impro
ve radioecology\, and capitalisation of best practices\, tools and data in
the various fields of research is encouraged.

\n

The conference will
be a key forum for researchers\, industry\, regulators and experts for wh
om radioactivity in the environment is an interest area. It will include a
selection of oral presentations\, as well as short oral presentations for
selected posters and poster exhibition.
